« My model for business is The Beatles. They were four guys who kept each other ’”⁹s kind of

negative tendencies in check. They balanced each other and the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

That’”⁹s how I see business: great things in business are never done by one person, they’”⁹re done by a team of

people. »

Steve JOBS (1955-2011)

They are iconic characters with extraordinary abilities to circumvent intellectual and, or physical limitations.
